Overview
Impressive French Quarter commercial/residential building built circa 1850. This beautiful four-story building has been meticulously renovated and features four residential units and a ground-floor retail commercial space.
Enter through the historic side passageway into the lush private courtyard, featuring a relaxing fountain, towering red-brick privacy wall, and mature landscaping including shade trees.
The downstairs unit is a popular commercial retail store that has been in operation for decades. It features a large, wide storefront providing prime exposure along one of the busiest streets in New Orleans for foot traffic. An excellent location to retain or attract long-term commercial tenants.
The magnificent second-floor residential unit is a one-bedroom, one-bath residence with soaring ceilings, crown molding, and original hardwood floors. Historic triple-hung windows open onto the private, covered street gallery overlooking Chartres Street and its intricate wrought-iron balcony work.
Take the new elevator or use the grand interior stairwell to access the third-floor unit. This expansive two-story residence features two large bedrooms and two full baths. The lower level is filled with natural light from the floor-to-ceiling double-hung windows at the front and large eight-pane doors overlooking the rear balcony and patio. The well-equipped kitchen opens to a private street balcony with rooftop views of the Vieux Carré. Upstairs is a quiet private quarter with a spacious bedroom, office space, and full bath.
The dependency features two residential units with views of the courtyard and everything needed for a comfortable French Quarter pied-à-terre.
No detail was overlooked in the restoration of this exceptional building. Improvements include cosmetic interior restoration, a new elevator, newer full-slate roof, and a full sprinkler system, combining thoughtful restoration with modern amenities.
Located in a sought-after section of the French Quarter with close proximity to Irene’s Cuisine, The Chart Room, the new Caesars Palace, and all the nightlife, shopping, and dining the French Quarter has to offer. A true turnkey opportunity for an investor seeking a distinctive property in the heart of the Vieux Carré.
